On This Week's Feedback Friday:

  • You fell for a charismatic nomad with a troubled past who seemed healthy when you met, but he's spiraled into cocaine addiction, extreme paranoia, and concerning behaviors like threatening violence against imagined rivals. He suspects you're cheating when you eat ice cream too quickly (!), and you're wondering how to help without enabling. Can love survive such toxic suspicion?
  • You're a manager who's been secretly placed on a team that will reduce the workforce by 50%, all while your company celebrates record profits and expects you to share this good news with employees. You've signed a confidentiality agreement but worry about betraying the trust you've built. How do you sleep at night knowing what's coming?
  • Your lifelong best friend is experiencing a series of legitimate crises and you've been their primary support. Their problems have become "life or death" situations that leave your nervous system shot and recovery time non-existent. You want to help without completely burning out. Is there a middle ground between abandonment and self-sacrifice?
  • You've been thrust into managing contracts and vendor relationships after layoffs, despite having no procurement background. The workload has exploded, you're drowning in unfamiliar terminology, and fear asking too many questions might get you fired. With your husband unemployed, quitting isn't an option. How do you fake it until you make it?
  • Recommendation of the Week: Quest Protein Chips
  • Your adult children have moved 1,700 miles away to states with more affordable housing, leaving you grief-stricken despite their success. You've always been devoted to your own parents and expected the same in return, but now face the prospect of aging without nearby support. How do you reconcile your expectations with their independence?

Welcome to Feedback Friday. I'm your host, Jordan Harbinger. As always, I'm here with Feedback Friday producer. The toaster going, ding, as this sweet loaf of crispy life advice pops on up. Gabriel Mizrahi.

0:14.4

That's a brevel. That was a brevel sound. It's a brevel sound. Actually, that's not the sound at all. I don't know why I said that. I would imagine a brevel toaster is a digital.

0:21.4

Yeah, it's like a teet, de, and you did like the 1980s toaster in every family movie.

0:26.6

Yeah, ding. That pops up and you smell the burned crumbs that are in the bottom that have been in there for two months, just getting roasted every time.

0:33.6

The toaster of yesteryear.

0:34.6

It is. On the Jordan Harbinger show, we decode the stories,

0:38.2

secrets and skills of the world's most fascinating people and turn their wisdom into practical

0:42.4

advice that you can use to impact your own life and those around you. Our mission is to help

0:46.6

you become a better informed, more critical thinker. And during the week, we have long-form

0:50.4

conversations with a variety of incredible people from former jihadis and drug traffickers,

0:54.6

astronauts, tech luminaries. This week, we had comedian and game show host, Drew Carey. We talked

1:00.4

about his career, the Price is Right. I asked him a lot of kind of crazy Price is Right questions.

1:04.5

Has anyone cheated? What's the trick? There's a lot of fun stories about that. Actually,

1:09.0

we laughed a lot during this episode, no big surprise.

1:11.6

He's got a ton of stories that he's volunteered regularly. It was a really fun conversation.

1:16.9

We also had Sean Williams on. He's a journalist. We covered North Korea, meth in North Korea,

1:22.2

human trafficking, the way North Korea makes money for the state. Very different episode than the

1:27.3

Drew Carey one, of course,

1:28.3

but also equally interesting, especially if you're into geopolitics. On Fridays, though, we share

1:32.5

stories, take listener letters, offer advice, play obnoxious soundbites, and compare Gabe to

1:37.4

various high-end kitchen appliances. Or just kitchen appliances in general. I don't know.

1:41.9

Toaster of yesterday are not exactly something to write home about. Before we dive in, I got to tell you, I just started jumping rope. It's kind of awesome.
